CHILDREN'S HEALTH AND EDUCATION INITIATIVE

Providing Children Healthier Childhood For a Chance at a Better Future

  • In underprivileged regions around the world, children have difficulties in accessing basic medical care and health education on hygiene. We hope to provide children around the world the access to basic healthcare and health education by inserting fully operational nurse offices and other necessary staffs into schools in underprivileged regions in the world.
  • Working side by side with local educational charities we hope to promote the importance of education and also provide the children a safe haven for all their basic medical needs.

EDUCATION

Education is the key to a better future by providing the necessary life skills such as reading and writing, social, communications, and access expanded support services within a school system.
